 At this workshop, student YANG Mi-jin (Department of Architectural Design, Graduate School, left in the photo above) received the first prize, the AIDIA (Asia Interior Design Institute Association) President Prize. The characteristics of Seongsu-dong were analyzed as the past and present, the gap between the rich and the poor, and the contrast between abandoned and used spaces and were set as a concept based on the factory which is an element of Seongsu-dong. In order to connect the two less frequently used alleys with the main road, a sculpture with the concept of a traditional Korean knot was installed to activate the alley connection and remodeling and exterior space design were applied so that the rice cake shop, an existing local store on the selected site, could be naturally mixed with the influx of stores. YANG Mi-jin said, “Working with foreign students from various countries and friends from other schools, I was able to accumulate new experiences and feel an expanded vision for my future career."


 Park Chan-hee (Department of Architectural Design, General Graduate School) focused in the connection between nature and the city, centered on Seoul Forest, and won the KIID (Korea Institute of Interior Design) Chairman Prize. She made her work in 4 sequences consisting of  Café Street - Seoul Forest - the plaza in Seoul Forest - the street corner leading from Seoul Forest to the downtown. KIM Su-hyeon majoring in architectural design in YU Department of Architecture won the Sigongtech Chairman Award by designing spaces and furniture that could meet the needs of both locals and travelers on the route of Seongsu-dong under the theme of sustainability.
